Call me schizophrenic. Call me an extremist. You can recall that I'm supportive of air strikes to punish Syrian dictator Bashir Assad for using chemical weapons -- as long as we're sure his side used the chemical weapons and that he ordered the launch.

But if a president were to A) take military action against Syria without seeking a resolution authorizing military action or B) Congress rejected the resolution, but he went ahead anyway . . .Would that be grounds for impeachment? Probably not. There's some precedent for this sort of thing:

The War Powers Resolution passed by Congress in 1973 requires that the president seek consent from Congress before force is used, or within 60 days of the start of hostilities. It also says the president must provide Congress with reports throughout the conflict.Since 1973, the United States has used military force in Grenada in 1983, Panama in 1989, Iraq in 1991, Haiti in 1994 and Kosovo in 1999. In all those instances, presidents -- both Democrats and Republicans -- sidestepped Congress and committed U.S. military forces without obtaining congressional approval.

The media would have you believe, and the radical homosexual
activists would have you believe, and the liberals in Washington would
have you believe that the case is closed because the Supreme Court
ruling on DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) was the last word.
But they're wrong.

The high court's DOMA ruling, wrong-headed as it was, only struck
down Section 3 of the law: this means people in same-sex "marriages" who
live in states that allow it, can receive federal marriage benefits --
technically, once you get beyond the bluster of Justice Kennedy, the
ruling accomplishes nothing more.

Meanwhile, they're taking advantage of their public relations
momentum to mount a strong drive to completely strike down DOMA and to
do what the Supreme Court didn't -- and truly make same-sex "marriage"
the law of the land: legalized in all 50 states.

They're pushing the ironically named "Respect for Marriage Act" to
eliminate DOMA so the ederal government would recognize "same-sex"
marriages in every state. Already there are some 161 cosponsors in the
House, and 41 in the Senate. If supporters of traditional marriage are
lulled into inaction by the radical Left's misinformation campaign, this
bill will become law. And something far worse than the Supreme Court ruling will happen to America.

On an economic level: disaster.
The Government Accounting Office has determined there are some 1,138
mentions of marriage in federal law. This means nationwide legalization
of same-sex "marriage" will make an enormous negative impact on the
government's budget and thus the country financially.

On a social level: danger.
Forcing the redefinition of marriage on all states will mean a loss
of religious liberty. It already means parents are no longer in control
of what their children are taught about sexual morality in public
schools. It already means bakers and florists and photographers are
being forced to participate in same-sex "weddings" or face fines and
lawsuits. Christian business owners are suffering the consequences as
provisions of this law are imposed upon them.

On a spiritual level: persecution.
The radical homosexual lobby wants to cause massive disruption to our
culture by making homosexual activity "normal" -- and objections to
homosexual activity "hate." They call us "haters" because we will not
affirm and celebrate their sexual deviance. In fact, warning them about
the risks is the loving thing to do.

There is nothing hateful about standing for marriage and doing our
best in public policy to ensure that a child has a mother and a father.
But once this position becomes "hate," and hate becomes a crime,
Christians will be in more trouble than ever.

We are not alone in this battle. There are strong, principled conservatives in Congress and they are standing firm.

The stakes are huge. Since the Supreme Court ruling, the lines have
been drawn. This is no longer simply about marriage. This is about the
federal government maneuvering a step closer to being able to silence
Bible-believing churches and their values...

We must put maximum pressure on conservative leaders to take a bold
stand in defense of marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

We're approaching the end of our fiscal year on September 30th,
and we must meet our $400,000 goal by this date in order to keep
operating in the black and continue our critically important work,
without pause or delay, on Capitol Hill.

This fight is not over. FRC Action will stand for this foundational
truth. But we need you to be part of it. Please sign and return the
petition, and give as generously as possible. We will represent your
interests on Capitol Hill, we will fight hard, and we will put all of
our experience and expertise to work on your behalf. But we need you to send us and keep us there.

This is a story a friend told me today, and we've decided to keep it anonymous. This friend is completely credible. We are looking into it further. -Jz

Right down the road from my house is a store that is owned by 2 brothers from Yemen. They are wonderful people and they love America. The oldest brother and myself have an ongoing conversation about politics and what is going on over in Syria.

I asked him about the Syrian government gassing the citizens with nerve gas. He told me that it was not the Syrian government that used the nerve gas: He said it was the Muslim Brotherhood.

Yesterday I went into the store and he showed me a video of the Muslim brotherhood testing the nerve gas on rabbits and they showed hundreds of canisters and bottles of the nerve gas in the video. He translated the video for me since it was spoken in Arabic. If what he translated was true, then it was the Muslim Brotherhood that gassed all of those children.

He said that Obama is blaming it on the Syrian government so that he can send troops over to help the Muslim Brotherhood. He said that Obama is arming the Muslim Brotherhood with weapons and chemicals.

All of his relatives still live in Yemen as does his wife and children. He is trying to get them here but it cost him $115,000 to get here himself. He talks to his family over there everyday and he gets reports about what is going on.

Ruling could have
horrible international consequences for pro-family movement!

On Wednesday, August 14, a federal judge, denying a motion to dismiss, ruled
that a Soros-backed pro-homosexual "civil rights" organization,
Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR)
based in New York, can move forward and sue Pastor Scott Lively of Springfield,
Mass. for allegedly committing international "crimes against humanity."

Pastor Scott Lively refuses to back down and
is being bitterly attacked by the homosexual movement.

Absurd charges against Lively

This unprecedented lawsuit is based on pro-family speeches and writings critical
of homosexuality by Pastor Lively at conferences in Uganda and in the United
States. CCR is claiming that Lively's opinions were the direct cause of about a dozen minor incidents
of harassment in Uganda over a period of ten years, which they consider "crimes
against humanity." They offer no evidence that the perpetrators of these
incidents had ever communicated with Lively, or had even read or heard anything
by him! Instead, they make the preposterous charge that somehow Lively's few
speeches and writings created a "virulently hostile environment" in the
entire country of Uganda, and thus he is responsible.

In our
exclusive coverage of the hearing back in January on the motion to dismiss,
we reported how we sat in the courtroom and heard Lively's
Liberty Counsel lawyers eviscerate virtually
every argument brought up by the plaintiffs. At one point Federal Judge
Michael A. Ponsor even told
the CCR lawyer that he is "struggling to see actionable behavior" in anything
Lively did or said, and that he can't see that any of Lively's conduct that
amounts to
"persecution" or "conspiracy."

Unusually harsh and hostile ruling on motion to dismiss

But that was then. In
his 79-page ruling issued last week, Judge Ponsor accepts all of the points
raised by the Soros-backed plaintiffs and denies all of the points raised by
Lively's lawyers. In addition, Ponsor excoriates Pastor Lively's "offensive
conduct" relating to his pro-family activity and his "distasteful" use of the First Amendment.

We're living in a time of outrageous and hostile anti-family court rulings.
The Supreme Court and state "gay marriage" rulings, the rulings against
pro-family businesses, recent "transgender rights" rulings, and rulings against
parents of schoolchildren are just a few. But this ruling goes far beyond anything
we've ever seen or even read about.

Detailed analysis coming up.Because of the egregious and convoluted nature of this case and the
ruling, MassResistance is preparing a detailed analysis of the judge's ruling
and how the judge has determined that Pastor Lively -- presumably no
longer protected by
the First Amendment -- can "legally" be sued in an American court on these
charges.

What this is REALLY all about: a new international
standard for "crimes against humanity"

Why is this New York-based Soros-based group going to such unusual efforts and
expense to prosecute Pastor Scott Lively for international "crimes against
humanity" -- simply because of things that he said?

This is not an accident. It could represent for them an unprecedented weapon for the international
homosexual movement going forward.

A major driving point of the hardcore homosexual movement is the internal
narrative among themselves that criticism or distaste of homosexual behavior
(what they call "homophobia") leads to genocidal extermination of homosexuals.
To us (and most people) that may seem to be a paranoid delusion. But that
is what they tell each other that pro-family people really desire. And it's a
big part
of what drives them to relentlessly silence any disagreement of their behaviors
through intimidation and harassment as well as oppressive anti-bullying laws,
"anti-discrimination" laws, and other tactics.

However, their bigger goal is worldwide. At the end of their
complaint against Lively the plaintiffs declare what they are asking for.
Included is: "a declaratory judgment holding that Defendant's conduct was in
violation of the law of nations." And a preponderance of the arguments in the
complaint clearly lead in that direction. Thus, it's clear that their real goal is much bigger than just punishing Scott Lively.

This case could essentially make Uganda the Nuremburg of the gay rights
movement. They are seeking an official declaration from a United States Federal
Court that "homophobic" speech and writings constitute international crimes against
humanity because of the "climate of terror" that they would cause in a
country.

This would have huge value to them.
It's one thing for Barack Obama to go to other countries and chastise them about
their laws and customs reflecting traditional values regarding homosexuality.
But it's another to have the club of "crimes against humanity" behind it.

This case represents the declaration of a new global standard. The entire world
would be put on notice that all disapproval of homosexuality must be ended. You
can't criminalize homosexuality in your country anymore, or even have laws
curtailing it in any way -- because that would be considered on the level of the
Nazis' actions against the Jews.

And it would certainly be used against any number of individuals and groups here
in America and around the world. That's the real problem. That's why
they're putting so much effort into it. It's the opportunity they've been
waiting for.

The plaintiffs appear to be moving as quickly as they can to start the "discovery"
phase of the lawsuit in Springfield Federal District Court. Basically, the
plaintiffs will demand to see tons of Lively's emails, records, and other
material -- largely a fishing expedition, it would appear, to find anything that
might strengthen their case. As usual, we will
keep you informed.

A final note: We have been critical of pro-family legal defense efforts
in important, high-profile cases over the years. Much of it has been terribly
weak and simply second-rate. Not so with Liberty Counsel. In this case they have
really impressed us. They've done a first-rate job and fought brilliantly.
Unfortunately, they're just up against a completely corrupt and irrational legal system on a
scale that resembles something out of the old Soviet Union. This is a disgrace.
In our opinion, Judge Ponsor should
be impeached and disbarred. But Lively's legal team is not giving up, and we're behind them.

Here is an exchange with a 'conservative' (I believe more like an anarchist) on Tea Party Community, on the topic of America being a supposed 'police state'. My guess is that those who believe such nonsense have never experienced a true police state. Conservatism is becoming dangerously irrational lately. This will lead to another election loss if we're not careful. But in any case, here you go.

They "SHOW UP", AFTER THE FACT, to "collect
evidence", process the crime scene, ARREST homeowners, if they DEFEND
THEMSELVES, especially with a FIREARM, INTERROGATE EVERYONE in the
house, hoping to "pin something on somebody", etc, etc, etc.

They
are more like "Garbage-Men", than "Protectors", because they show up
AFTER the CRIME has OCCURRED, to "CLEAN UP THE MESS" !!!

Most of
them MAY be "GOOD COPS", but there are MORE THAN ENOUGH "BAD COPS" to
DESTROY any "CREDIBILITY" the rest of them may have.

The "actions of a few" have cause me to NEVER "trust the many" !

BTW - Too bad the "bad cops" don't visit YOU ... TROLL !!!

Jimmy Z

Geez
David, this is the kind of hysterical anti-police rant I'm talking
about. The police prevent enormous amounts of crime just by being on
patrol! 'Garbage men' indeed. God forbid you would ever need a police
officer.

David F

I have no "need" for cops to "protect" me ... Come kick in my door sometime !!!

Jimmy Z

This
comment of yours, David, is an example of crazy talk. Consider: Let's
say the cops have no good reason, or even have the wrong address, and
they kick in your door, and you 'take a stand' with your trusted
firearm. Guess what happens next?

David FWell, Jimmy, put the events in order:

(1) Door gets kicked in, without warning.

(2) 8 rounds of 00 Buck go off in 2-3 seconds

(3) Surviving "intruders" realize they have the "wrong house"

(4) If I'm lucky, I get to leave this place for an eternity in Heaven.

(5) The "Garbage Men" clean up the mess.

(6) Who "won" ???

Chuck

What
happens next? Simple. 40 cal bullets come my way and 30-06 bullets go
their way. See, anybody can bust in a door and yell "police". If it
were really so simple, every robber would just do the same thing.

Jimmy Z

David
F's list above is insane. I think the police with their gear come out better, and you die, and your family is left without you. What's the point? He think that it goes from 8 rounds of buckshot to
police 'realizing they have the wrong house'. Not likely. What happens
most likely is that David ends up shot by police. I take no pleasure in
saying so, but this is craziness here, this idea that one should shoot
it out with the police. Oy vey.

Your Deposition Required:

Larry Klayman and Class Members vs. Barack Hussein Obama

Fellow Patriot,I have just filed the FIRST
class action law suits against Barack Hussein Obama to stop his mad NSA
spy scheme that's targeting YOU and your family right now
That's right – while the others sit around and talk, I'm taking action and have already filed our groundbreaking class action suits in U.S. District Court in Washington DC to force Obama and his socialist tyrannical comrades to end their unconstitutional attacks on your rights and liberty.I've taken on and defeated Presidents in the past . . . in fact, I am the ONLY lawyer EVER to have a court rule that a sitting President – Bill Clinton – had committed a crime

And now I'm on the job again, targeting Obama
for his glaring violations of law, especially his use of the National
Security Agency (NSA) to illegally spy on you and millions of other
loyal America citizens.
You see, America is under attack like never before,
and unless we stand together and take decisive action today we run the
risk of seeing our cherished nation collapse and become little more than
a puppet socialist state controlled by tyrants.
But the enemy isn't a foreign army waiting to invade . . . unbelievable as it sounds, the enemy is already deeply entrenched in our own government. The enemy carries U.S. passports, votes in our elections, and even rules over us from their devilish lair in Washington, D.C.That enemy is Barack Hussein Obama.
What's more, plans are now in place enabling the Obama regime to snap the chains of bondage around YOUR wrists unless you and I unite right now to stop this escalating attack on our constitutional rights and freedoms
And Freedom Watch – the legal watchdog group
that's shining the light of truth on the dirty deals and illegal
activities of Democrats and Republicans alike – is ready, willing, and able to fight back on your behalf.And that's just what we're doing . . .
The spies at the National Security Agency are snooping through billions of our emails, phone records, and other personal and confidential information like medical and credit card records.Why? The answer is simple: to coerce or
blackmail and intimidate the American people into silence about Obama's
attack against the very foundation of our Republic: the U.S.
Constitution.The Obama agents are going through your
personal and private information seeking anything they can use against
you, in court or out. Whatever they find, no matter how inconspicuous it
may seem, will be used by the NSA to control you and force you to
accept Obama's anti-American agenda.
This NSA spy outrage is more than just Obama's
latest scandal . . . like his use of other government agencies to harass
and intimidate political opponents. This scandal marks a critical turning point in our nation's history, and Freedom Watch and I need your urgent support
in our efforts to regain our lost rights as American citizens,
God-ordained rights for which our Founding Fathers and the patriot
forces fought and died.So Freedom Watch has filed a series of class action suits against not just Barack Obama, but also his comrade-in-arms Eric Holder, the NSA, and telecommunications giant Verizon,
the company that funneled all this private information to the
government spies, as well as the other cell phone companies and internet
providers like AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Google, AOL, Facebook, Skype
and others who have collaborated in this illegal intrusion into our
privacy.
Our lawsuits will force Obama and company to end their outrageous domestic spying program
in which they search YOUR emails, YOUR phone records, YOUR private
information for any "evidence" they can find to use against you. We WILL win, but only with your help.
Freedom Watch's lawsuits are expensive. We need
funds for lawyers, legal staff, depositions, research and more. So I'm looking for millions of patriotic Americans like you to stand with Freedom Watch and me
as we sue Barack Obama and the federal government, their corporate
enablers, and the judge who went along with their power grab. We
must do this to take back our God-ordained, constitutionally-protected
rights that are disappearing each and every day at the hands of Obama.
Without your support, I fear our great country
will pass the point of no return as Obama and his socialist allies in
and out of government shove the U.S. Constitution into the White House
paper shredder
But Freedom Watch's class actions suits will stop Barack Obama's anti-American plans dead in their tracks.
I've already proven this can work by
successfully suing Bill and Hillary Clinton when they occupied the White
House. But we're up against a much greater foe this time, a man who
isn't legally even President. And he's using the vast power of the
government to maintain his illegitimate hold on the office.
These cases have ALREADY been filed and are moving along . . . Freedom
Watch and I need YOU to join with us in the fight to regain our
freedoms that are being stolen by the socialist anti-American forces
that have infiltrated the White House and Congress.
Founding Father Benjamin Franklin warned his
fellow patriots on the day the Declaration of Independence was signed,
"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."What was true 237 years ago rings even truer today. Together, we must unite against Barack Obama's egregious spy program that allows the NSA to sift through your personal emails and more without your consent or knowledge.
This is the critical, defining moment in U.S.
history. Freedom Watch's class action lawsuits against Obama, his
corrupt attorney general Eric Holder, the NSA, Verizon, and other cell
phone and internet provider companies, will unify Americans of all
political stripes to wage a "Second American Revolution." This new revolution is peaceful – but Freedom Watch is pursuing it with vast legal force.
The time has come for We the People to rise up and reclaim control of our nation. You can join with me in "manning the barricades of freedom"
against the government despots and corporate enablers who seek to
enslave the American people through their despicable actions.We MUST say no to Obama's "Orwellian" "1984" power grab. We MUST demand that our liberties be respected.
And the one way to do this is through Freedom
Watch's class action lawsuits that will end his attack against the
Constitution and our God-ordained rights enshrined therein. And I need
YOUR help to keep these lawsuits going and on to ultimate successDon't let this be the day America surrenders to Barack Obama and his socialist agenda.
Surrender assures the destruction of the American republic. Join with
Freedom Watch and me as we take on Obama in court and out, and end –
once and for all – his government takeover of our lives! Stand with
Freedom Watch and me as we take on – and defeat – this enemy of the
American people.The entire world now knows that Barack
Obama and his comrades at the NSA are spying on American citizens with
impunity. And they are prepared to use YOUR confidential and personal
information to blackmail you into submission or target you as a
political opponent, as we have seen many more times in the recent past
with this administration.
This simply cannot be permitted and we must not stand for itFreedom Watch's class actions suits against
Obama and his allies are your best chance at stopping his takeover of
our once-free nation.
I'm asking you today to answer America's call . . . your strong financial support will help Freedom Watch take on and legally defeat Barack Obama and his accomplices!
Any gift you can send -- $50, $250, or $1000 or even more – gives Freedom Watch the needed resources to fight for America, fight for freedom, and fight for YOU.Every dollar counts. With your
support, Freedom Watch and I will immediately begin mobilizing millions
of freedom-loving Americans across the country to join our "Second
American Revolution" as we legally take on and defeat Barack Hussein
Obama and his corporate enablers. Together we shall prove in court that
Obama has violated his oath of office by illegally spying on you, me,
and the rest of We the People.
I must count on your support today. Freedom
Watch's lawsuits are moving forward in the court system right now.Your
support of Freedom Watch and our lawsuits is urgently needed. Please
take action immediately by selecting here to make your best possible
gift to Freedom Watch today.
Don't let Barack Obama win. Don't let him steal
YOUR freedom and make you little more than a "slave" of the state. Stand
with Freedom Watch and me as we fight one of the most important battles
our nation has ever faced. Together we can save America from tyranny
Thank you for fighting for freedom!Larry Klayman
P.S. The NSA spy scandal has rocked the Obama
administration. And Freedom Watch's class action suits against Barack
Obama and his co-conspirators in the NSA and elsewhere will bring him to
justice. Your immediate financial support is urgently needed. Please
select here to make a generous gift today to enable Freedom Watch to
legally take down Barack Obama and his socialist agenda. And don't
forget to forward this email to as many people as you can. We must rally
